This matches my own hands-on experience seeing the Denver K1 outperform the Z3580 for H264 software video decoding, despite the Z3580 being able to use twice the amount of threads since it's a quad-core.
Have x2 the CPU cores means nothing at all also yes nvidia tegra k1 is good and the best for dolphin but atom is good as well benchmarking tests are just like a polygraph test they don't tell the truth they just tell you what they think is best, atom is good but like I said x86 devices don't mix well with arm and heck many google play apps aren't capatible with arm and some emulators like Reicast, all that needs to be done is to have x86 be compatible with dolphin and we can know the truth.
